Even the darkest Africans I’ve see just look dark brown to me. Why is “Black” okay when it’s not even an accurate description?Most 'white' people aren't 'white' either: pink, neutral, beige etc... 'Black' actually makes sense.

The race is Negro; well defined anthropogenicly. The culture (art, music, food, dialect, etc.) is African American. The political philosophy is “Black” as in “Black,Power” and includes a variety of goals centered around race-based political power.

Of course for blacks living here the true correct term is 'American'....

“Splib A non-derogatory word for black male, used by blacks and whites alike (even in mixed company), prevalent in the U.S. military in the 1960s and 1970s.
I served in the Navy from 1961-'64. This is the first time I ever saw/heard that word.

I found a pristine copy of Mark Twain’s ‘Huckleberry Finn’ practically brand new.Probably forbidden by a "woke" librarian, who never read it because of references to runaway slave Nigger Jim. Who, for those who have not read it, was a heroic character. I pull that classic out every ten years or so and reread it.

I fgured I’d hit up Kensington, North Philly, and Strawberry Mansion...

I was going old school wid da N Broad St suggestion.
Without the gentrification from Temple in recent years you would not even be able to drive up N Broad, let alone walk there. I still don’t understand anyone willingly sending their college children (red, yellow, black or white) to Temple. There is no safe area among all those buildings, new or old.

Fine. Do “as they say” on Blazing Saddles. Okay, from now on I'll use the word "near" instead of black.

I always have found the term offensive, except when used in reference to people who really are African-American. Like Charlize Theron, Dave Matthews, Gary Player & Kim du Toit.

“People of Color” is now ‘offensive’....................

“Black” is probably the LEAST accurate description of all. A very small percentage of African-Americans have skin that approximates being “black,” and millions obviously have mixed-heritage that renders their skin very similar to Hispanics or even tanned whites. Millions are like KC QB Patrick Mahomes, i.e., nowhere near being “black.” The word “Black” seems to mainly serve the purposes of sloganeering.

"Even the darkest Africans I’ve see just look dark brown to me. Most just look medium brown. Why is “Black” okay when it’s not even an accurate description?"
Beat me to it. Just watch an NBA game for five minutes, and 3/4 of the "black" players have skin tone resembling Hispanics.
To: Steve_Seattle
Having been overseas and met real Africans, some of whom have no white blood in their lineage, they are very close to ‘black’, but even then the term ‘black’ is a misnomer................

"When did “other” become a verb?"
A while back, I noticed a fad in advertising in which ad writers started to use nouns as verbs, apparently thinking they were being clever. So I heard stuff like "A new way to pizza" and "The next time you 5G . . ."

Just call them ‘slaves of the democrat party’.
